Report on the 1969 excavation at the Roma site, P.E.I. / by E. Frank Korvemaker.: R61-2/7-89E-PDF
"In 1969, excavation was initially designed to locate the remaining six structures known to have been constructed on the Point, and to determine the feasibility of possible development of the settlement as a National Historic Park. After two and one half months of intensive testing, three more building locations were found. However, the lack of any durable foundation remains, such as those found in 1968, resulted in a change of emphasis in the excavation from that of development to solely archaeological research and artifact correlation. Thereafter, the main work was concentrated in the storage cellar, from which an extremely good sample of early to mid-18th_century bottle glass and porcelain was being obtained; and in the Company house, the foundation of which was partly excavated in 1968."--Introduction, page 2.
